Old Tan Ducker

verseOld Tan Ducker was a mighty strange man
Washed his beak in a frying pan
Combed his feathers with a wagon wheel
Had a corn ache down in his heel

chorusGet out the way, old Tan Ducker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's gone and the table's bare
Nothing left but an empty chair

verseOld Tan Ducker came to town
Riding a goose and leading a hound
Hound dog barked and the old goose ran
Everybody laughed at Ducker, man

chorusGet out the way, old Tan Ducker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's gone and the table's bare
Nothing left but an empty chair

verseOld Tan Ducker got into a fight
Flapping left and flapping right
Lost his hat and tore his coat
Fell face-first in the old duck moat

chorusGet out the way, old Tan Ducker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's gone and the table's bare
Nothing left but an empty chair

verseOld Tan Ducker sat down to eat
Knife and fork and webbed-up feet
Ate so much that the table shook
Scared the preacher and the cook

chorusGet out the way, old Tan Ducker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's gone and the table's bare
Nothing left but an empty chair

verseOld Tan Ducker went down the road
Bent-backed mule and a heavy load
Mule said, "Dan, I'm done with you"
He said, "It's Tan," and away he flew

final chorusGet out the way, old Tan Ducker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's gone and the table's bare
Nothing left but an empty chair

outroGet out the way
Get out the way
Old Tan Ducker
Get out the way
